Officials at Luke Air Force Base say two individuals from Luke were confirmed positive Wednesday with COVID-19.

According to a statement, the members and their families have been isolated in their home since first showing symptoms.

Maricopa County officials have not said if either case was reflected in Wednesday's updated total.

"I ask all of you to remain calm as we work to safeguard our Airmen and families and preserve combat capabilities," stated Todd D. Canterbury, Brigadier General, USAF Commander, 56th Fighter Wing.

Luke AFB's Health Protection Condition has changed to BRAVO, according to the statement. Airmen and families are encouraged to increase public health vigilance associated with COVID-19.

In an effort to provide weekend coverage, the 56th Medical Group is going to be open during normal business hours Saturday and Sunday, according to the statement. All Luke AFB personnel should continue to emphasize standard precautions as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Officials have adjusted policies, procedures and services at Luke AFB in response to the new coronavirus (see post below).

"During this time, your mental health is just as important as your physical health," Mr. Canterbury stated. "I know this situation can cause stress on our Airmen and families as we transition to this new normal. Please ensure you are taking care of yourself and don’t suffer in silence. Stay in communication with friends, co-workers and supervisors to share your thoughts and concerns."
